Inventor: SCHMIDT OTTO ROBERT HEINRICH
IPC: C01B33/113
Filed: 1909-01-25
Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 1735. Schmidt, 0. R. H. Jan. 25. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Silica.-Disintegrated-silica, suitable as a size, is obtained by treating natural silica or silicates, such as China-clay in a finely-divided condition with alumina, such as that obtained by precipitating a solution of alum with an alkali or ammonia. , The silica &c. may be mixed with the alum or with the precipitant dry or otherwise, the other body then being added; or the alumina may be first prepared. The materials are preferably agitated together in a closed vessel. Aluminium silicates, especially clays, will also, when agitated with water and silica, incorporate the silica.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Valve Gear of Direct Acting Engines for Actuating Pumps and the like.
Inventor: FINLAY ROBERT PETTIGREW
Filed: 1909-06-05
Granted: 1909-10-14
Abstract: 13,200. Finlay, R. P. June 5. Combined fluid-actuated and mechanical gears; slide valves.- In a combined fluidactuated and mechanical valve-gear, an auxiliary valve D<2> is moved through tappet mechanism by the piston-rod and controls the motion of the main valve, which is provided with admission and exhaust ports A<2>, B<2>, D<1>, and is guided by an eccentric pin passing through the valve-chest cover. The auxiliary valve is provided with exhaust ports S, Q, R, Fig. 7, which register with ports L, N, K, M leading to the ends of the valve chamber. The ports K, M are fitted with perforated non- return lift valves O for cushioning purposes. When the valve D<2> is moved downwards, the port K is opened, and steam passes to the end of the valve chamber and moves the main valve downwards to allow steam to pass through the ports A<1>, A<2>, a to the cylinder. When the valva D<2> is moved upwards, the port K is first closed, the port M is then opened, and port L put into communication with the exhaust c by a port S. The main valve is moved upwards to the cut-off position by the fluid pressure, the exhaust through the port L being cut off by the main valve. When the auxiliary valve completes its upward movement, the top end of the main valve chamber exhausts through ports K, R, c, and the main valve completes its upward movement, being cushioned at the end of the stroke by the entrapped steam which escapes through the valve O.

Title: Improvements in Floor-springs and Checks for use in connection with Swing and other Doors.
IPC: E05F3/10
Filed: 1909-07-01
Granted: 1910-06-30
Abstract: 15,343. Newman & Sons, W., and Newman, G. F. July 1. Dash-pots ; composite springs; connexions, attachments, and adjustments applicable generally for tensile and compressive springs.-Relates to combined floor springs and checks in which tapered check cylinders are employed so that the resistance of the check increases as the door closes, and consists in providing improved means for regulating the resistance of the check in the provision of an improved relief device for receiving the excess oil which cannot quickly pass the pistons during the opening of the door, and in an improved arrangement of the parts of the mechanism. Fig. 1 shows a sectional plan of the apparatus and Fig. 3 a vertical section. The floor casing 1, rendered watertight by means of sealed cover-plates 4, 9, is filled with oil, which is prevented from escaping past the door pivot 3 by a stuffing- box 6. The pivot 3 carries a cam 2 which actuates a sliding frame 10 through the medium of rollers 11. The frame 10 is acted upon by springs 16 which can be adjusted by screw means 22. An arm 13 on the spindle 3 carries a third roller 14, which wipes round a cam-shaped flange 12 on the frame 10. A pair of tapered check cylinders 23, cast together, are fixed to the bottom of the casing 1 and are filled with oil or other fluid. The pistons 24 are connected to a yoke 28, which is connected by a screw 29 to the frame 10. By turning the screw 29 by means of the capstan 30, the normal position of the pistons in the cylinders may be altered, thereby adjusting the resistance of the check. Any number of check cylinders may be employed, and, when more than one is used, a relief chamber 31, Fig. 5, in the cylinder casting is connected to the outer ends of the cylinder by ports 32 and receives the oil which cannot quickly pass the pistons when the door is opened. When the pistons come to rest, the oil within the chamber 31 is forced back past the pistons by means of a spring-loaded plunger 33. The check cylinders are filled with oil through ports 39, 40, Fig. 1, closed by a plug 37. According to the Provisional Specification, the cylinders are provided at their inner ends with non-return valves, through which oil is drawn from the casing to fill the cylinders ; also each piston-rod may be independently connected to the sliding frame by a separate adjusting-screw ; and the cover-plates 4, 9 of the casing may be covered by a brass plate.

Granted: 1909-12-20
Abstract: 24,602. Milton, J. L. Oct. 20, 1908. Systems, electric. - In a magneto-ignition system, the magneto circuit is closed through an inductive or non-inductive resistance before the primary of the transformer is connected in circuit. The circuit of a magneto c, across which a condenser i is arranged in parallel, may be completed through either an inductive resistance l or the primary b of a transformer by an interrupter blade f actuated by a cam g. The resistance l is connected in circuit just before the peak of the current wave is reached. The condenser i, which becomes highly charged as the blade leaves the contact h, discharges almost wholly through the primary b when the blade f reaches the contact k. In a modification, a non- inductive resistance replaces the inductive resistance l. Specifications 17,635/07, 22,271/08. 13,573/09, and 21,962/09, are referred to.

The rib needles are preferably mounted in a conical bed 11, the sinker bed 25 being placed outside the plain cylinder with a space in between. While plain knitting is in progress, the bed 11 can be lifted up out of the way. The various changes required are effected by two groups of cams 52, 54 which act upon intermediate levers 51, 53 to press various bolt cams such as 44, 46, 47, and 49 into the path of the needles. To allow of the adjustment of the cylinder relative to the ribbing cone necessitated by the change from 1/1 to 4/1 rib, the pinion 6 driving the cylinder is provided with an oblique keyway in which fits the key 57 connecting the pinion 6 with the shaft 7 for driving the ribbing cone. This key can be pushed up by means of a screw 59 and disc 60 by the action of pattern mechanism on a star wheel 61 provided with oblique crown teeth 62. To fill up the holes which would otherwise be caused by the introduction of additional wales into the fabric, the corresponding needles are not allowed to draw loops for the first course after their introduction, the thread being laid across their stems.
